Microphone Use Speech Recognition

hi just wondering if anyone can help me out here. I have tried soo many things I'm thinking about selling my new microphone. Every time i click on the Speech Recognition i always get this message an unexpected error occurred linking to the speech recognition control panel followed by a series of numbers. If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated. (I have tried too many different softwares which i found to be confusing and none of the ones i downloaded worked. I have also tried changing the settings of language on my computer..) please fix this error

I cannot access the tutorial for speech recognition because when i click on it, i always get the error message... The microphone is set up because I can hear my self but I can't get my computer to start using my voice to do commands or type
